Herman Cain would loosen federal marijuana restrictions
At a campaign stop in Urbandale, Iowa, Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said he supports letting states establish their own laws regarding medical marijuana.

"If states want to legalize medical marijuana, I think that's a state's right," Cain said, according to NBC News. "Because one of my overriding approaches to looking at all of these issue --most of them belong at the state, because when you do something federally . . . you try to force one-size-fits-all."

And who do you suppose has a lot of stock in a privately-owned restaurant chain that specializes in pizza?

6. Hmm..you mean if Cain was somehow nominated.
and he were to debate Obama, it would be Cain defending MMJ, while Obama plays the drug warrior? Crazy.

7. That makes two GOP candidates who have more sense than Obama...
at least on this one issue.

I hate it when right-wing fascists support liberal positions more fervently than liberals do.

8. The problem is it's a states rights issue for him. And of course
he can say anything he wants on the campaign trail. If he were to be elected then we would see what happens.
